Triptych. Russia, XIX century.

Triptych. Russia, 19th century.
"Deesis".
In bronze.
Measurements: 18 x 40,5 cm (open); 18 x 14,5 x 2,5 cm (closed).

Devotional triptych that presents the traditional composition of the Deësis, with Christ Pantocrator flanked by the Virgin and Saint John the Baptist in intercessory attitude.

The figures appear in relief, with stylized and hierarchical features typical of Byzantine iconographic language, maintaining the characteristic frontality and spiritual intensity. The presence of inscriptions in Cyrillic characters reinforces its cultural and liturgical adscription.

This work is representative of 19th century Russian production, where traditional iconographic models are perpetuated using techniques such as cast bronze, giving rise to pieces of great formal sobriety and strong symbolic content.
